Pokédex holder: Difference between revisions

When Professor Oak told how the Pokédex can be used in battle, Gold asked for one. The Professor said that Pokédexes are meant for research purposes, and the ones he trusted the device were responsible young people who were willing to help others with their strengths, unlike Gold that only cares about his goal and would reduce it to a tool in battle. After much insistence, the Professor asked how Gold sees his Pokémon, to what the boy replied that they are his "partners". For the good answer, the Pokédex was given to him. During the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver|ninth chapter}}, Gold recevied an upgraded pokedex.

Silver's Pokédex was first seen during his battle against Gold and then used against {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. Later in the story, Professor Oak explained that it was stolen from his 2nd Research Center in [[Cherrygrove City]], the same way that Silver stole the [[Silver's Feraligatr|Totodile]] from [[Professor Elm]]'s Lab in [[New Bark Town]]. He guessed that Silver was the thief after hearing from Green about the time she and he were under the [[Masked Man]]'s control. During the ''HeartGold & SoulSilver'' chapter, Silver recevied an upgraded pokedex.

While Professor Oak was looking for a reliable Trainer to collect Pokémon data for him, he got information from {{adv|Bill}} that there was a catcher who would do it for something in return. When the Professor went to [[Earl Dervish]]'s [[Pokémon academy]] for the meeting, a bunch of {{p|Slugma}} attacked a little girl. To protect her, a girl named Crystal used her Pokémon and [[Poké Ball#Level Ball|special Poké Balls]] to catch them all. Amazed by her catching skills, he gave her a Pokédex and, in return, repaired the old academy. During the ninth chapter, Crystal recevied an upgraded pokedex.
